After submitting an article to an international journal for evaluation, is it possible to correct a typographical error on the personal details in the reference section? If so, could the correction be submitted by a third party or is it the original author's responsibility?
Yes, They will again reconfirm it, some journals also do some copyright transfer formalities there also you can change it. Or play safe just drop a mail to the journal about it.
Dear Pandora,
For most reputable international journals, the publication process takes weeks/months for review – so, there should be ample time to correct a typographical error. Papers typically go through 2-3 iterations of revisions back-forth with the author, before they are released for publication. Unless you believe the article will be published imminently, I would suggest waiting to correct the error during the revision stage.
Please note, one important exception: some publications do not allow changes to the list of authors after first submission e.g., adding/deleting an author -or- changing the order of authors.
Hope this helps! Best wishes for a smooth and successful publication journey.
Best regards,

I think most of journal send a message to the corresponding author to check the manuscript before published.
